Keep pre-frozen foods in thefreezer compartment.NOTE: Do not put other items on the ice tray while the water isfreezing. The water freezes more rapidly if the thermo-stat is at the coldest temperature setting.Door latch for travel and storage:During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening.There are no chains, slides, or any devices that you mustengage.During storage, the door latch prevents the door from com-pletely closing. Use it to prevent odors when the refrigerator isshut down for a long period of time.To use the door latch for storage (See Art00979):- Open the door just so the door latch [1] is between the ribs[2] of the latch plate [3].Ignition and Start UpThe thermostat [1] (See Art00976) changes the amount ofpropane gas that goes to the burner. This acts as the tempera-ture control of the refrigerator. Number 5 is the coldest tem-perature setting.When the outside air temperature is below 50° F, the refrigera-tor may have a tendency to freeze food at the colder temperaturesettings. To reduce the tendency to freeze food:- Turn the thermostat to a warmer temperature setting.- Keep the refrigerator full.- Put foods that are more likely to freeze on the lower shelf.The selector switch [2] changes the energy source of therefrigerator between propane gas ( ), AC electric ( ), DCelectric ( ), and OFF ( ).The gas safety valve [3] is built into the control panel. As long asa flame is present, the valve is open and allows propane gas toflow into the burner. Any loss of flame (empty gas tank, blowout, etc.) closes the safety valve and stops the flow of gas.The piezo igniter [4] makes a spark which ignites the flame inthe burner.The flame meter [5] shows if a flame is present in the burner.Ignition - propane gas operation:1. Open the valve at the gas storage tank.2. Turn the thermostat to the 5 position.3. Turn the selector switch to the propane gas position ( ).4. Push and hold in the safety valve and push in the igniterseveral times in rapid succession, for about five seconds:WARNING: Do not hold in the safety valve for more than30 seconds. If there is no flame in this time, wait at leastfive minutes before you try ignition again. If you continueto hold in the safety valve, gas will collect in the burnerarea. This could cause a fire or explosion and result indangerous personal injury or death.- When a flame is present and the flame meter moves intothe green area, release the safety valve.- If the flame meter does not move into the green area, dothis step again.5. Turn the thermostat to the temperature setting that you wish.
